Lucius Vettius Nymphius

Lucius Vettius Nymphius, aurifex, vixit annis XVII. Et te, Terra, precor leviter super ossa residas, sentiat ut pietas praemia quae meruit, et quicumque suis sincere praestat honorem, felicem cursum perferat ad superos.

Y a ti, Tierra, te ruego que te dejes caer suavemente sobre sus restos para que llegue a sentir las recompensas que mereció toda su ternura; y todo el que muestre un testimonio sincero de consideración hacia los suyos, que tenga un camino feliz mientras viva.
